Bell TV turns 6141 HD STB into HD PVR with firmware update

No, the latest firmware update for Bell TV's 6141 HD STB doesn't magically add a hard drive within, but it does open up the ability for said box to record content if one is attached via USB. The new software (v.165) enables a single USB 2.0 HDD up to 1TB in size to be attached, and once it's recognized, recording can begin immediately. For obvious reasons, we're told that the material can only be played back on the set-top-box on which it was recorded, but hey, at least you can push aside that impending HD DVR purchase indefinitely.
